Job Summary
Enriched Learning Academy is seeking a warm, dependable, and experienced Toddler/Preschool Teacher to help lead a NEW mixed-age classroom serving toddlers and preschool-aged children.
Because this classroom includes children from both age groups, applicants must be EEC Teacher Certified in both Infant/Toddler and Preschool.
About the Position
This teacher will be responsible for creating a nurturing, engaging, and developmentally appropriate classroom environment where children feel safe, supported, and excited to learn.
The position will primarily focus on leading our new toddler/preschool classroom on designated days. On the remaining days, the teacher may support another classroom based on enrollment and program needs.
This is an excellent opportunity for an educator who enjoys working with mixed-age groups, understands the developmental differences between toddlers and preschoolers, and can create meaningful learning experiences for children at multiple developmental levels.
Responsibilities
- Plan and implement developmentally appropriate activities for toddlers and preschoolers
- Create a safe, welcoming, and engaging classroom environment
- Adapt activities to meet the individual needs and developmental levels of each child
- Support children’s social-emotional, language, cognitive, physical, and self-help development
- Complete observations, assessments, and required classroom documentation
- Maintain consistent classroom routines while remaining responsive to children’s needs
- Provide active supervision at all times
- Communicate professionally and positively with families

What We Are Looking For
We are looking for someone who genuinely enjoys being with children and understands that strong early childhood teaching involves more than supervising a classroom. The right person will be nurturing, reliable, creative, organized, and able to balance the needs of younger toddlers with the growing independence of preschool-aged children.
Our ideal candidate communicates respectfully, takes initiative, follows through on responsibilities, and wants to be part of a supportive and growing early childhood program.
Benefits
